Once Upon a Deadpool Trailer
In Once Upon a Deadpool, Deadpool has kidnapped Fred Savage – but it’s all in good fun. I think. Savage is here to recreate his famous role from The Princess Bride, as Deadpool recounts a cleaned-up, PG-13 version of Deadpool 2. While you can expect this version of Deadpool 2 to be altered, don’t expect too much new footage. The majority of new material involves Reynolds as Deadpool chatting with Savage – and by all accounts, this new footage was shot in one day. There’s a quick bit of “new” footage where Deadpool chats with an elderly couple on a bench – but this is actually a deleted scene from Deadpool 2 that can be viewed on the Blu-ray release already. In other words, if you’re hoping for a brand new movie, you should check your expectations at the door. But if you’re curious to see how a PG-13 Deadpool 2 might play out, Once Upon a Deadpool might be for you.
I’m not so sure the world needs a PG-13 Deadpool 2, but I will admit the joke about how Fred Savage prefers “real” Marvel movies, as opposed to ones released by Fox, was fairly amusing. As an added bonus, $1 of every ticket sold is going to be donated to the charity F*** Cancer (renamed Fudge Cancer here, to keep things PG-13). Once Upon a Deadpool will play in theaters from December 12 till Christmas Eve.
